Cults Capitalizing on Cartoons Edit
Bart Simpson's Voice Used to Sell Scientology Event

Capitalizing on the popularity of the incredibly successful television cartoon The Simpsons, the voice of the globally popular character Bart Simpson has been used to promote a Scientology event in Los Angeles.

The voice of Bart Simpson, Nancy Cartwright, has used her famous cartoon character’s name and voice to create a recorded phone pitch to people in which she says: “This is Bart Simpson,” before saying she’s just kidding and identifying herself correctly.

Cartwright, who is scheduled to be a guest speaker at the event, then continues speaking in the voice of Bart Simpson while announcing the Scientology event. “It’s gonna be a blast, man!” she says, followed by the trademark Bart Simpson laugh.

She then asks listeners to call and confirm their attendance at the Hollywood event.

A lot of people are ‘having a cow’ over this, so much so that the issue even received air time on breakfast radio programs in Australia this morning.
